Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Front cover is curved up.

Fortunate Timing is the story of Doodlakine farmer, William (Bill) Joseph Scott. Born two months after the start of WWII and the youngest of eight children, it offers a glimpse into the early days of farming in the Central Wheatbelt of Western Australia.

From droughts to the Iraqi war to dubious political policy, hard times were felt over the years. Yet Bill's success in farming is clear - from live pig exports to Burma to life membership of the West Australian Pig Breeders Association and serving as a Councillor of the Royal Agricultural Society.

Looking back on his farming life, Bill considers his success the result of hard work, living within one's means ... and fortunate timing. (publisher blurb)
